bypass steam for downgrade

Here is a step-by-step guide on disabling the downgrade protection manually using Cheat Engine:
1. Run Cheat Engine.
2. File -> Open Process -> Steam
3. Set the right-hand settings to the following:
- "Memory Scan Options": steamclient.dll (just keep pressing S when the drop-down is open to iterate through each and find it quicker)
- "Value Type": Array of byte
- "Hex": checked
- "Writable": unchecked (!)
- "Array of byte": D0 84 C0 0F 85 2E FF FF FF
4. Click "First Scan". You should get a single Address and the searched Value next to it.
5. Right-click the Value -> Change value of selected address(es)
6. Enter new value: D0 84 C0 E9 2F FF FF FF 90
7. Click OK. Done. You can now exit Cheat Engine and are able to downgrade games without the "Manifest not available" error, until you exit Steam. Continue through the guide as before.

You will have to do this every time Steam is (re)started, until I make an automated DLL for this. Stay tuned

well done mate.

fixed? worked yesterday, can't find any results today

edit: had to change memory scan options to All

It does start downloading the depot but it ends up with an error and when i checked the downloaded files only 359mb of 12415mb got downloaded: dbd.exe, and dbdshipping 64.exe and movies folder.

Worked perfect for me, ty! +Rep

Its say "Depot download failed : missing license for depots 381211"
